There was a time when I thought we as humans would find a better, kinder version of what we call peace. We are doomed by our genetics...That was a saying on a wall in my town that acted as a blog long before the term came to be. Because of that I ended up photographing that wall for ten years!

All the elements that make up an i-phone are almost all decades old, most components exist for at least 4.5 years, the companies that build the product and/or sub-assemblies have been around for years, so what does Apple come up with? Just the same as in the days of the Apple II (late seventies)? No, not quite the same but this time a copied gizmo design pushed by millions of dollars in ad campaigns to produce that critical domino marketing effect. And who is going to blow Apple away? Google with its recent entry into the mobile your-phone-does-anything-and-buzzes-everywhere, or a phone-multimedia-I-know-I-can-do-anything-device?
Comm-on gals and guys, get serious, we proletarians buy shit because we need it (Braun razors were known for their longevity - that'z whaz Jermany is all about) or because we can't have an erection without them - the ubiquitous i-phone definitely produces dopamine (indirectly I should say)... so folks, back to basics, trash your devices and start having real fun! Not kidding...I agree, but only from the limited perspective of someone sitting on top of an iceberg - the 10% that keeps’em from drowning ;-).

I use it with my students, too, with one slight difference: to make them understand how the world "outside" simply IS - and that they have to be very skilled rhetoric warriors in addition to designers to convince these too-powerful yet aesthetically underdeveloped decision-making marketing departments. Designers need to be able to say "No, I'm not doing that. That is poor design. Period." If they lose the client, they drive a taxi until they find one who listens. ;-)Actually, it may have been you that pointed me to it – so thanks for that!

awaketodayFri, 03 Apr 2009 07:11:52 +0000http://awake-aware-alive.com/?p=763#comment-302Hello Stefanie,
Thank you for your sweet comments. I think we encounter "real gurus" at the most unexpected places in our lives. I greatly respect, admire and honor Deepak Chopra, yet I if I understand his message, which is not unlike the messages of all the other "gurus" life has sent me, I think his answer would be: "More important is what such a film means to YOU." Do you like it? Does it tickle your emotional side? If so, great! If it does so while insulting your intellectual side, fabulous! What an enormous array of sensations to process. There are many things which "make no sense" to us, but we can strive to grow in our own personal way, however tiny, while being aware of precisely that.
Warm regards,
MaureenHello Stefanie,

I red with big interrest the topic of this susi.
I came here because my destiny leads me always to the right places!
(Hope that my english is not to bad)
I was thinking about the comments and talk between you two!
I think that if live is just anaylsed with our mind, the emotional part in us will suffer!
Also things wich make no sense can be part of the universal plan!!!
Good gurus know this.
Or dear Maureen... do you think that a real guru, like for example the Deepak Chopra would like or even support such a movie?!
With big admiration,
